add-popa3d-user 1.3
I used to run my own mail server and have popa3d set up to provide pop3 access over ssl. add-popa3d-user is a simple perl script to add users to my popa3d config. My setup was somewhat non-standard, so before using this script you might want to read my HOWTO. Also note that there are some settings at the top of the script that you can change to suit your needs.
The following patch has been contributed for add-popa3d-user. Please note that I haven't tested it.
| Patch | Description |

| add-popa3d-user_postfix-support.diff | Miroslav Yordanov (mironcho AT linux-bg DOT org) provided a patch to have add-popa3d-user automatically add new users to his postfix configuration. |
pinglog 1.0
This is a simple shell script that continuously pings a server and prints a message to stdout whenever its availability changes. This might be used for remotely monitoring the uptime of a server. Or, as in my case, by monitoring a very reliable remote server, it can be used to test one's own internet connection. It's called pinglog because its output will usually be redirected to a file, i.e., it is logged.
